There are plenty of surprises in Trump’s second term. This is just the newest addition.
Now Donald Trump’s latest test result is raising everyone’s eyebrows.
Strong Public Support for Intervention
A new poll shows that most Americans favor the United States using military force to address the crisis in Venezuela.
The survey, conducted by the Trafalgar Group and released this week, found that 56% of respondents support U.S. military intervention to restore stability and remove the Maduro regime, while only 31% oppose it, with the rest undecided.
This clear majority reflects growing frustration with the socialist government’s collapse of Venezuela’s economy, its ties to criminal networks, and its threats to regional security—issues that President Trump has long highlighted as requiring decisive American leadership.
Trump’s Longstanding Warnings Proven Right
The poll results align closely with President Trump’s repeated warnings about the dangers posed by Nicolás Maduro’s regime.
During his first term and continuing into his current administration, Trump designated Venezuela as a state sponsor of terrorism, imposed tough sanctions, and pushed for democratic change.
He has consistently argued that the regime’s alliances with Iran, Russia, and criminal gangs like Tren de Aragua threaten U.S. national security and have fueled migration and drug trafficking across the hemisphere.
The strong public backing for intervention comes as the Trump administration has taken a harder line, including recent threats to Cuba to negotiate or face consequences, and ongoing efforts to pressure Venezuela through diplomacy backed by the credible threat of force.
The poll underscores that many Americans see the situation as too serious to ignore, validating Trump’s approach of confronting authoritarian regimes rather than appeasing them.
Context of the Crisis and Path Forward
Venezuela’s collapse under Maduro has left millions displaced, with the country now serving as a hub for narco-trafficking and transnational crime that spills over into the United States.
The poll’s findings suggest broad bipartisan recognition of the need for action, with support crossing party lines in many demographics.
As the Trump administration continues to rally international allies and prepare contingency plans, the American people’s willingness to support military options if necessary signals strong domestic backing for a firm stance that puts U.S. interests and regional stability first.
